Abstract
A holder for a beverage container, typically a beverage can or a beverage bottle, to provide supplemental cooling to the beverage. The holder includes one or more support ridges, a pedestal, or other beverage container support means to support the bottom of the can or bottle above the holder bottom to create a space for an ice or an ice and water cooling medium. A sealing means between the holder and the beverage container permits the beverage container and the holder to be tipped for drinking without spilling the ice or ice and water used to provide the cooling. Various sealing means include a removable seal subassembly, a single piece gasket that fits on the holder, a seal ring, and a stretch membrane.
